Suggestions for making SILVER work in system?
Zexxtool - how ya doin. I'm brand new to silver, i've got 2 runs of silver streak, 1 broken in and 1 with about 40 hrs on it and it is amazing. i did switch from mit which could be characterized as opposite. My system is on the warm side - meridia... 
Why aren't these on the "recommended list?"
Nicely said cornfed and so truuue. 
KS-1030 lacks bass - Any suggestions?
just my 2 cents - i have never had any select in my system but have had pbj and silver streak, the ss between by cj pre and classe produces excellent bass. the ss between dac and pre not as much - is aq opal silver? i found it interesting that the... 
Why Can We plug our AMPS directly into wall w/o Worrying?
Baz, i say plug into wall, always worked best for me. I hate power conditioners except for aftermarket cords. Besides, i know you don't want to go thru the hassle or lose a component but homeowners will cover any mishap. Peace. 
Best power cables for Krell?
i'm using BMI EEL on my classe which is high current like krell - beats stock, sr master coupler, and mit z II. great bass, round but tight and very natural sounding - more neutral than the other 3 i mentioned. 
Armor-all
That's what i thought but i couldn't remember the outcome of that controversy - I did 2 cds out of boredom and i didn't like the sound anyway - some of the audio press is absolutely ludicrous trying to fill pages. i do use optrix and it solves ski... 
What is the best digital cable?
My only experience is an audioquest dig. pro and my current illuminati and the latter was far superior, it was noticeable the moment I put it in between Meridian trans and dac. 
Any advise to improve my system
Patrick, I'll take a shot. Here's what I'd do starting with the least expensive. Try a mit 2 power cord on your amp, the SR master on my classe makes the soundstage thick, slow and creates a mid bass hump that is distracting. Classe amps are high ... 
Power cord for Sunfire Stereo Signature?
MIT 2 - my prediction is you'll experience a deeper soundstage and the overall presentation will be smoother, better defined bass than stock. High current amps like Spectral and Classe work well with this cord and it is cheap and you can easily se... 
Illuminations D-60 RCA/RCA Survey
Lak, I bought mine when it was still illuminati and my understanding was the name should read left to right at the transport and dac. I've had one for years and it was one of the single biggest upgrades I've made. 
MIT 750 Magnum - opinions please
Hi Snegrah, I've been a satisfied MIT user for years and also, as mentioned above, always have come back. I was using pre-network musiclinks years ago and ventured into other cables while upgrading components for several years. I put the old music... 
Solid state amplifier $2K Used or New
Classe 200 or higher up the line I've been using for aboutn 4 years now - hard to beat the performance and power for the $$$. 
Which IC is more important?
The interface between all components is obviously critical, I think everyone agrees with that - for me the preamp/amp connection is the most critical and I proved it when I did extensive auditioning of cables. I noticed a bigger difference when sw... 
I normally don't ask for help, but.....
Prayers and thoughts.... 
Good SS match for C-J PV10 preamp
CJ is a great mate to Classe, I've run the pv10 with a ca200 and MIT shotgun ic's.
